Interweavings: Threads of art education, poetry and phenomenological grapplings

Abstract
This three-authored paper describes our individual responses to a video, Dwelling, by Japanese artist Hiraki Sawa. The nine-minute video is a wordless, but not soundless, presentation of jet planes flying within the confines of the artist’s apartment. We chose the Youtube video in order to be able to share an artwork although we were working in three different cities at the time. Our responses consist of our individual poetic and visual (photographs, collage, paintings) interpretations of the video in conjunction with theory. We use phenomenology as our theoretical framework and underlying philosophy, and connect it with arts based research.
Keywords: Art Education; Poetry; Visual Art; Phenomenology.
